Overview

The Laser Distance Modules (DMM) from ASKION offer outstanding technical characteristics combined with an excellent price-performance-ratio for the integration of length and/or position measurement systems, especially in the fields of industrial and security applications.

At an operational wavelength of 905 nm the measurement range is 20 to 3,000 m with an measurement accuracy of +/- 0.5 m. The special processing electronics enable the ASKION Laser Rangefinder a maximum range capability within eye-safety class 1 or 1M, according to EN 60825-1:2015-07.

The performance of the DMM Rangefinder is shown in the following chart. Distance measuring values in kilometer range are achieved at measuring rates below 1 Hz. Even at rates in the range of 10 Hz very weakly reflecting objects can be measured safely at a few hundred distance.

The start of a measurement and the output of the measurement data is done through a UART-Interface. The supply voltage is 1.9 - 5.2 VDC.

Application areas

Compact design, low weight and sturdiness allow the use of the Laser Rangefinder in a wide range of application areas:

Industrial automation

Monitoring and positioning of installations

Distance measurement in the areas of geology and conveyor technology

Position monitoring in rail and shipping traffic and in container transport

Sport and observation optics

Laser distance measurement with daylight sight long-range optics

Night vision combined with distance measurement

Laser distance measurement for target optics in the hunting and sports shooting area

Security technology

Altimeter in flying objects

Distance measurment in platforms for border control or monitoring of critical infrastructure facilities
